Book Description
There was a time in my life when I found Christianity a mystery. I listened to different preachers and teachers, but there was nothing real to any of it. When I was seven years old I joined a church that seemed very spiritual to me. But there came a time when I needed more. I didn't know where to find more. When I learned I could ask Jesus into my heart, I realized what was missing. I have recorded what I discovered in the search for what was missing. I call it "Down to Earth Christianity." This is practical, real life experience derived from a radical, growing change in me from knowing and understanding the Lord Jesus Christ; a more complete and real way to look at life beyond religion.

Book Description
Thoroughbreds is the second book of the Angela Bishop trilogy, where she continues to take up the lifelong ambition of her idealistic twin brother, who was killed in Vietnam. Throughout the story she wrestles with an overwhelming sense of destiny as she struggles against Otto Schroeder, falls in love with a draft dodger and winds up on the state political scene. Angela decides to run for political office, partly so she can oppose Otto's plan, who among other things, is trying to push a bill to stop President Carter's mandate to give amnesty to draft dodgers.As with the rest of the trilogy, Thoroughbreds is written in the tradition of a carefully detailed plot, drawn out sparingly in a sensitive, internal monologue. The book expresses a sense of destiny that many people have, and who would enjoy reading about someone who begins to experience its fulfillment.Although this book stands alone outside the trilogy, characters from the other two books live in this story, and oh yes'¦a few horses.

Book Description
This is the first book of a trilogy in which Angela Bishop takes up the lifelong ambition of her idealistic, over-achieving twin brother, who was killed in Vietnam. Throughout the story she wrestles with an overwhelming sense of destiny as she struggles against an adversarial former lover, gets caught up in a Vietnam protest movement, falls in love with a draft dodger, and finally winds up on the national political scene.The central theme revolves around a young co-ed who suddenly finds herself required to deal with a high calling and the sacrifice it demands. Vietnam and politics are used as a framework to portray the heroin's struggle to become self-actualized, coming out from under the shadow of her brother.Written in the tradition of a carefully detailed plot, drawn out sparingly in a sensitive, internal monologue, the book expresses a sense of destiny that many people believe they have and who would enjoy reading about someone who begins to experience its fulfillment.

Book Description
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND TRAVELERS had crossed the Oregon Trail during the gold rush of 1849. Even the most backwoods warrior understood what that meant: disease, death, and conflict with the whites. As a result of the Treaty of 1851, some Indians were convinced that the country to the north—called Absaraka—might be a better option for a home range. At the very least, it held the promise of less trouble from the whites. The danger from other tribes was another matter.

Book Description
“The High Divide is a vivid reminder of why we read, and why we want to."* In 1886, Gretta Pope wakes up one morning to discover that her husband is gone. Ulysses Pope has left his family behind on the far edge of Minnesota’s western prairie, with only a brief note and no explanation for why he left or where he’s heading. It doesn’t take long for Gretta’s young sons, Eli and Danny, to set off after him, leaving Gretta no choice but to search out the boys and their father and bring them all home. Enger’s breathtaking portrait of the vast plains landscape is matched by the rich expanse of the story’s emotional terrain, in which pivotal historical events coincide with the intimate story of a family’s sacrifice and devotion. “A deeply moving, gripping novel about one man’s quest for redemption and his family’s determination to learn the truth . . . Layered with meaning, this remarkable novel deserves to be read more than once. The High Divide proves Enger’s chops as a masterful storyteller.” —Ann Weisgarber, author of The Promise “Blends adventure, two boys coming of age and an exploration of trust in marriage . . . The story captures the splendor of the 19th-century West.” —St. Paul Pioneer Press “A compelling story of a house divided, of a man’s haunting pursuit of forgiveness, and a family’s search for the husband they thought they knew—but never really did.” —*True West Magazine “A captivating story . . . Once you start turning the pages, there’s no setting the book down.” —The Denver Post “Enger’s novel is told in beautifully exact, liquid language . . . Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, starred review
